What is an accessible bathroom?

An accessible bathroom is a sanitary space designed to be used independently and safely by a person with reduced mobility, whether they are in a wheelchair, equipped with aids, or experiencing a loss of autonomy due to age. This involves suitable circulation dimensions, specific equipment, and a non-slip floor throughout the area.

Finance and plan a PMR bathroom in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

Creating a PMR bathroom in Woluwe involves anticipating financing, available aids, the work schedule, and choices that combine accessibility, comfort, and aesthetics.

The elements of a well-designed accessible bathroom

An effective accessible bathroom relies on several technical aspects. Here are the elements we systematically integrate:

Walk-in shower (Italian shower): extra-flat or recessed shower tray, with no threshold to cross.
Clear circulation space of at least 1.50 m in diameter to allow for wheelchair turning.
Folding or fixed shower seat, horizontal and vertical grab bars.
Lever or thermostatic taps, accessible from the seat.
Wall-mounted sink with adjustable height, with free space underneath for wheelchair access.
Raised toilet with lateral grab bars, lateral clearance of at least 90 cm.
Non-slip flooring throughout the area, tiles with a minimum R11 coefficient.
Sufficient lighting, without shadow areas, with switches at accessible height.

Price of a PMR fit-out in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

Service	Price range (VAT included)

PMR toilet installation with grab bars	900 to 1,600 €
Accessible wall-mounted sink + faucet	700 to 1,200 €

These amounts can be reduced by regional grants. After the visit: analysis of the room configuration, technical constraints, and the beneficiary's needs: a detailed quote is established and available aids are identified.

Coordinate PMR adaptation with other work

If other work is planned in the home, complete renovation of the bathroom, electrical upgrades, changing floor coverings, the PMR adaptation naturally integrates into the overall project. Mobilization costs are shared, network interventions are coordinated, and finishes are consistent. It is generally less expensive to adapt the bathroom as part of a complete renovation than in a later dedicated project. We recommend this approach whenever the home has other short-term renovation needs.

Small bathroom: solutions exist

In Woluwe apartments from the 70s, bathrooms are often small (4 to 6 m²). It is possible to create a functional accessible configuration by optimizing the organization of the space: corner shower, compact wall-mounted sink, toilet with a lift seat. We design each project considering the actual constraints of the housing, not a theoretical plan.

Brussels grants for housing adaptation

In the Brussels region, the Renolution grant can cover part of the adaptation work for a bathroom for people with reduced mobility. The amount depends on the household income, the nature of the work, and their compliance with technical criteria. Other aids may be available depending on the situation: Phare (COCOM), mutual insurance, municipal grants. We help you identify applicable aids and compile the application. For a renovated classic bathroom, also check our bathroom price simulator.

Senior bathroom or accessible bathroom: what is the difference?

The senior bathroom is designed to enhance the safety and comfort of an elderly person who is still independent, mainly featuring grab bars, a shower seat, and a non-slip floor. The accessible bathroom goes further: it meets regulated minimum dimensions, standardized heights, and allows wheelchair access. If the current situation does not yet require full accessible criteria, a gradual adaptation is possible, and we advise you on the appropriate level of intervention.
